While many phenomenal sci-fi books have come out in the 21st century, few are as critically celebrated as <em>The Expanse<\/em> by James S.A. Corey, the pen name of Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham. The stories are gritty, character-driven, and deep political conflicts. <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/how-many-books-the-expanse-adapt\/\" target=\"_blank\">SyFy and Prime Video adapted six of the nine books<\/a> for the small screen, bringing the story to an entirely new audience. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the authors were propelled into fame, and they\u2019ve used that to secure another <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/best-space-opera-sci-fi-unknown\/\" target=\"_blank\">space opera book<\/a> deal and a Prime Video adaptation, which is currently in development. Their new book series, <em>The Captive\u2019s War<\/em>, is also a space opera, but it is on an entirely different part of the spectrum. The series follows a group of humans from a foreign planet of Anjin who get enslaved by <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/the-captives-war-expanse-smaller-prime-video\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Carryx Empire<\/a>. They might seem like they\u2019re cooperating from the outside, but inside, a rebellion is brewing. The plan for the book series is three novels and two novellas. <\/p>\n<p>So far, the novels <em>The Mercy of Gods<\/em> and <em>The Faith of Beasts<\/em> have released, as has the first novella Livesuit. For the most part, <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/the-captive-war-book-of-daniel-inspiration\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Expanse<\/em> and <em>The Captive\u2019s War<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>are more different than they are similar. The new series contains slow pacing and a cerebral writing style, plus a ton of alien species. That said, <em>The Captive\u2019s War<\/em> is borrowing <em>The Expanse<\/em>\u2019s Ring Gate entities, aka the Dark Gods, but they\u2019re switching two major details around in the process.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-deathless-enemy-in-the-captive-39-s-war-has-shades-of-the-expanse\">\n                        The Deathless Enemy In The Captive&#8217;s War Has Shades Of The Expanse<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Mercy of Gods poster shows the Carryx Empire\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/the-mercy-of-gods-poster-shows-the-carryx-empire.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">The Mercy of Gods poster shows the Carryx Empire.

At the moment, they both seem like the mysterious boogeyman lurking in the shadows.<\/p>\n<p>In James S.A. Corey\u2019s first book series, the dark gods killed the protomolecule creators millions of years earlier, and there\u2019s no known way to kill them. They aren\u2019t inherently violent, but they are ruthless when it comes to their goal of destroying the protomolecule. Similarly, the deathless enemy are older than humanity and nearly impossible to kill. They don\u2019t seem to be a threat to every alien race, but they are relentless when it comes to the Carryx. <\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\">\n<p><em>The Captive&#8217;s War <\/em>Novels &amp; Novellas<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Book #<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Title<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Release Date<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>#1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><em>The Mercy of Gods<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>August 6, 2024<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>#1.5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><em>Livesuit<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>October 1, 2024<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>#2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><em>The Faith of Beasts<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>April 14, 2026<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>#2.5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Untitled novella<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>TBA<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>#3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Untitled book<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>TBA<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>The Ring Gate entities are technologically advanced enough to destroy all the ships going through the rings, and the deathless enemy are on par with the Carryx when it comes to technological advancement.

Much of this comes down to the ability to possess other species and come back to life with the power of the ship. Another group thinks that the deathless enemy are actually another group of the Carryx, with the two sides fighting against each other. This would explain why both are equally technologically advanced and have existed as long as the other. A similar but separate group believes that the Carryx created the deathless enemy so they could take brutal actions. The last major group, which I&#8217;m a part of, thinks that the deathless enemy are the livesuits.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the correct answer, though, the deathless enemy will end up very different than the dark gods. <em>The Captive\u2019s War<\/em> confirms that the deathless enemy have bodies. The corpse on the ship looked like a human. The series also describes their appearance as having a hard, crusted epidermis, a blackened look, and a fivefold radial symmetry. These seem to be proxies. However, we will more likely than not have a direct reveal in either the second novella or final book. From start to finish the Ring Gate entities were an unseen force, which felt more like an inevitable part of nature, like gravity or humans breathing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card tag type-generic
